EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the remarkable teamwork of 17-year-old Joyce Stamford and her father Corrie Stamford as they embark on a monumental task - rethatching an entire village. The picturesque Hertfordshire village of Barley is about to undergo a stunning transformation with its 50 cottages receiving brand new thatched roofs. This photograph, taken on the 25th of May in 1944 during the Second World War, captures Joyce's exceptional skill as a thatcher and her unwavering determination. Having assisted her father since childhood, she has become quite proficient at yelming - an essential technique in this craft. Barley itself holds significance not only for its charming scenery but also for being chosen by a film company as backdrop settings for their production. As such, it is no surprise that the village will be looking exceptionally smart with its freshly thatched roofs. The image showcases Joyce confidently perched atop a ladder while working alongside her father. Their synchronized movements and expertise are evident in every straw meticulously placed upon the roof. This snapshot truly encapsulates both tradition and hard work. As we delve into this nostalgic moment captured by MacLellan from Memory Lane Prints, let us appreciate the dedication and craftsmanship displayed by these two individuals who have come together to preserve their village's heritage amidst challenging times.
